ENTRY DESCRIPTION
A man accustomed to make his soul a mirror where the whole Universe comes to reflect.
Charles Baudelaire.
This image comes from as a starting point from this series of self-portraits titled “to be an
angel”, where for the first time she used a tripod for its realization.
The artist using different mediums, design the manipulation and retouching of images - by
analogy with the abstract pictorial movement of the 1950's - like a " digital action ". The
digital creation then appears as a movement of existence, unthinking & pulsional in the
present moment, guided only by her intuition.
The Creation who so bears witness to the spirit in action,and and the spirit moving in action.
The software for retouch and image processing becomes as a mirror for the photographer
for question the mysteries of the photographic act, as a poetic gesture, to reflect in her own
way Beauty, and to find here even its image value.
The digital tool then becomes a catalyst, a source of reflection of its interiority - a tool of
dreams - where the photographer like a symbolist poet, would crystallize her interiority, thus
allowing the passage - what is beyond what is seen - the passage of appearances (image
initially perceived in the perceptual field) to that of the Worlds of Ideas, in the Platonic sense.
The author thus would reflect on the photographic language as Baudelaire had thought,
through the Verb. She would then manipulate the image (the material) of its own, to build an
evocation, in the sense of a Cognitive Process, leaving the viewer, facing his own
emptiness, facing his own feelings,facing his Encyclopedic Memory.
The Evocation of these image thus offers the receiver of this Artwork, to find a
representation, that will be associated with it, in this sense
